MSNBC s Chris Hayes on Tuesday couldnt help but laugh at a Fox News push for Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) to become the next House speaker.

Hayes mocked an email that a staffer on Sean Hannitys prime-time show sent to Republican lawmakers on the fence or outright opposing the Donald Trump -backed Jordan to replace ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.).

The All In anchor reminded viewers of Fox News $787.5 million defamation lawsuit settlement with Dominion Voting Systems over baseless allegations made on the conservative network that Dominions equipment had flipped votes in the 2020 election from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

Hayes summarized the Hannity email:

So, one of the most powerful forces in conservative politics, a network that pretty recently, I dont know, am I remembering this correctly, paid nearly $800 million to settle a lawsuit about its own involvement in the coup, is bullying individual members for Donald Trump and Jim Jordan so the coup team can get back together wielding their power.

He added, The message here is that Sean Hannity and Fox News will publicly punish you if you cross the leader of our party and his chosen speaker.

Meanwhile, Jordan lost the first floor vote on his potential speakership on Tuesday night.
